Brit 70's Class A 2 EQ

Novation Music

Info

Born on the 10th of May 1970, the 1073 preamp is most likely the worlds most desirable and famous preamp. Designed for the Wessex A88 console, the module was used extensively during the 70s on a range of Neve consoles. The 1073 is a Class A circuitry module offering 3 bands of EQ with one fixed high frequency band and two switchable bands with cut and boost.

This is a classic (pre Neve) Amek console with a phenomenal track record. It had a very musical 4-band EQ, with low and high shelving and two sweepable mid bands. The Angela provided you with a very smooth and silky sound and plenty of bottom end if required. For those pre-digital heads: The sound is big, warm and very analog.

The MASSIVE PASSIVE is a dual-channel, four-band equalizer, with additional high-pass and low-pass filters. "Passive" refers to the EQ design not using any active circuitry. It only consists of metal film resistors, film capacitors and hand-wound inductors, thus giving you a massively beefy sound with super headroom and all-tube make-up gain amplifiers. It allows huge HF boosts without sibilance problems and a lovely fatness without mud.

Our very own voice-optimised EQ features fixed bands for breath (high frequency) and mid (mid frequency) that can both be boosted or cut. A warmth band (low frequency) has selectable frequency and gain. There is also an extra band for removing unwanted mid frequencies called absence.

Conceived for the API's consoles, the 550 "B" is a new version of the original 1967 550. The 550B's four EQ bands overlap significantly to act as a problem solver and sweetening device. Each band offers 7 switchable filter frequencies, ranging from 4 to 5 octaves. The "API Proportional-Q? widens the filter bandwidth at minimal settings and narrows it at higher settings.

The AD2055 combines active and passive filter topologies with sonic excellence. It is the perfect solution for two-buss music-program equalization, special instrument EQ, FX applications and ultra high performance mastering studio's. The AD2055 offers high-voltage, large headroom, extended bandwidth and very low noise.

The EAR 822Q equalizer is a simple passive device. EAR products always put the highest possible sound quality in the forefront. It is a characteristic of the 822Q that subtle equalization is not masked in effect by the distortion that is often the result due to inadequate active filters. The audio circuitry stays true to the EAR principles of simplicity and transparency.

This is one of the first Neve EQ's. A fantastic and yet complex sound hides behind the simplicity of the HF and LF controls and single MID section with switched frequencies. The mid section also significantly affects the HF when switched in, even with no lift or cut. Get used to Kc/s, which is the old term for kHz.

This rare 9-band graphic EQ has bands with fixed frequency but variable cut and boost. All frequency bands are available due to Liquid Mix's drop-down menu options at the bottom of each band. A clean and reliable EQ well known for its sonic purity.

The VT-747SP is a six-band program equalizer that utilises 100% discrete, Class A high-voltage transistors for optimum sonic performance. The six band STEREO program EQ has the smooth characteristics of an all-passive design. The frequency turnover, Q and amplitude ranges for each band provide a natural harmonic balance and the lowest phase change, while offering simple and effective tone control. A great work horse in mixdown and mastering situations.

One of the most distinctive features of the Pultec EQP-1, apart from its fabulous sonic character, is that it's a passive EQ, using only resistors, capacitors, and inductors to achieve equalization. As no amplifiers or followers are used, the different sections of the EQ interact with each other more than would be the case if active components were used.

This is a Unique EQ! The Chandler Limited Channel MKII Abbey Road Special Edition EMI is a recreation of several classic circuits and combines a TG2 preamp section with an equalizer that was redesigned from an equalization circuit used in the TG12410 Transfer or mastering console. It offers very sweet high frequencies with large inductor-based solid low frequencies, and a very high "Q" mid cut section.

Designed by the legendary Saul Walker in the late 60s, the discrete 550A was initially used as a modular OEM equalizer. The industry rapidly embraced the sonic quality of the 550A and it found its way into many custom console designs. The combination of Walker's 2520 op amp, and the "Proportional Q" circuitry provides the user with an uncomplicated way to achieve acoustically superior equalization.

The MEQ5 produces a warm, smooth and sweet EQ contour, combined with an extremely high-quality tube audio signal path. Like most EQ classics, they are very easy to use: Grab a control, twist it and everything sounds great. The MEQ-5 allows you to boost and cut midrange frequency bands with silky smoothness and a lot of personality.

The EQH-2 is a program equalizer, very similar to the EQP-1. It was designed to provide a smooth equalization across final mixes or individual tracks. It used high-quality transformers and a tube gain stage which is a push-pull design and as a result offers a much beefier character.

Our very own voice-optimised EQ features fixed bands for breath (high frequency) and mid (mid frequency) that can both be boosted or cut. A warmth band (low frequency) has selectable frequency and gain. There is also an extra band for removing unwanted mid frequencies called absence.
